DECEMBER We return to School filled with turkey and unwilling to settle down to work. QDo we ever?j Mr. Wilson wants definition of emulsion. Pupil: I can't define it, but I can give an example. Mr. W'ilson: Let's hear itf' Pupil: I second emulsion? Akmakjian: Vous achetez une canare, M. Barget? Wanna buy a duck? fWisequacker!j An ambitious history student well-versedf?j in international affairs enlightens us with the fact that the Russian peasants go hungry because they have no food to eat. A bright student suggests a hard question for a history test: What nations fought in the Spanish-American War? Mr. Schwarz at the assembly: All right, girls, divide yourselves into two parts. Mr. Schwarz, again, to the boys in the orchestra: Let's begin again, all playing the same song. Room 3: In what state of the Union is Hoboken? Our aforementioned bright student: It isn't in a stateg it's in a conditionf, A dog enters Miss Jackson's room and sits listening to her interesting discourse until the end of the first period, then he yawns and quietly slips out of the room. Miss Stackpole gives dressing lessons to the girls in her class much to the embarrassment of the one boy, William Tallman. While discussing paints in Mr. Wilson's room, Litka is heard singing Hi-ho Lacquerdayf' Class Play is a great success from every point of view. A new fad among the Senior boys. Bright bow ties are worn. The Senior girls attempt to rival the boys' fad by wearing bright hair- ribbons is quickly subdued by Mr. Quigley and the teachers. The Christmas spirit prompts Mr. Taylor's chemistry class to bring lolli- pops to school, where class of forty nonchalantly sucks on them for forty-five minutes. Francis Sorin's books catch fire in chem. lab. In the excitement of extinguishing the flames, Ed Santeramo spills a bottle of nitric acid. And so to press with Merry Christmas, and good-luck to our successors. 91

NOVEMBER Cooking lessons in Room 57. Mr. Wilson gives the exact recipe for custard and jello. We don't think the jello will be so delicious after Mnksymowicz's fwhew, some namely revelation that gelatine is made from horses' hoofs. Miss Johnson: Give an example of reciprocity. Wagner: You scratch my back, I'll scratch yoursf' Miss Johnson, much to our surprise, is disgruntled by this example. Kraut give the formula for barium oxide as B. O. fTo the rescue, Lifeb0uy.j M1'. Wilson asks if feet can breathe through shoes. A bright student inquires if gas masks should be made for feet for war-time use. Election day assures us repeal. But with repeal we get the had news that St. Peter's Prep defeats Lincoln again, 19-0. Jack Schimel, to Miss Koch's chagrin: We have the mob spirit in school instead of acting as individuals because we lack the proper faculties. Mr. Wilson surprises the class by extinguishing the flame of the bunsen burner after he had finished using it. An extra assembly this week to celebrate Armistice Day finds a welcome heart in all the school. A speaker in the auditorium arouses school-wide discussion by his state- ment, Education does not build character. A pupil in Chem. says the opal has an effervescent color. McGowan in astronomy defines designation as where you are going. M1'. Barget: Who was Ajax? Voice from rear: A dry cleaner. fWe do not charge for this ad.j A substitute teacher tells us that Queen Anne left no heir when she died. fAnnie doesn't leave heir any more.j Henry Sieracki eats a pretzel in Mr. Taylor's class, whereupon Mr. Taylor ejaculates, I hope you choke on it. Charlotte Lieberman, our Circulation Manager, becomes quite elated when a Freshman Quill agent enters the Quill room and asks to see that lady who collects the money. Mr. Barget: Rupp, you're wanted in the office. I hope it won't be a Rup fpj ture. The 12A Class seems to be following in our footsteps Today they pre- sented a very enjoyable dramatic interlude. fAhem!j 90
